Not only is there a huge hole in the ozone layer--there is a huge hole in the education market. This is an alphabet book with many differences from the norm, written by a very respected speech therapist with over thirty years experience. The easiest and most effective way to teach sound-letter links is in the form of an accurate alphabet book. This is an engaging, accurate alphabet book that could become a favorite bedtime story book resulting in education by osmosis. Most alphabet books on the market contain errors. The few that don't contain errors, include consonant clusters, which complicate the auditory message. This makes it more difficult for the child to perceive the dividing lines between sounds. There appear to be no alphabet books on the market that have a user's guide, but this book does. - See more at: http://berkelouw.com.au/new-book/aa-is-for-alpaca/9780987463593/buy-online#sthash.WzCWOXwZ.dpuf

An engaging, accurate alphabet book can become a favourite bed-time story book, which is read and interacted with repeatedly at the child's request - education by osmosis!
This book relates sounds and words to real examples and is perfect for teaching children to read properly and simply, it is also ideal for children with learning difficulties.
Many children, primary and secondary, do not know their sound-letter links and are therefore extremely limited in their ability to decode unfamiliar words. The easiest and most effective way to teach sound-letter links is in the form of an accurate alphabet book - this is it!
Aa is for Alpacas and, in this informative and enjoyable alphabet book, B, C, D, E and all the other letters are linked to alpacas too.
Experienced speech pathologist Sue Carolane and her herd of nine alpacas teach the alphabet in a way that supports developing reading skills.
The book is divided into two sections. The first is a detailed account of the mechanics of learning how to read and explanation of why emphasising the sound of each letter as it is learned rather than the name of the letter is so important. Sue offers extensive instructions on how to best use Aa is for Alpacas to support children with their developing reading skills.
"A great resource for parents who want to understand how they can lay the foundations for good literacy skills for their child. It is also a wonderful introduction to a fascinating animal that is sure to appeal to young children."
